I'm still searching for a tool that allows me to browse through a folder of pictures the way I want it. Such a tool must preload and prerender (!!) the (e.g.) next 10 and last 5 pictures from the thumbs area so that going forward/backward is _instant_, even on a 500 MHz Mac, provided that there is enough RAM. Yes, it is possible, but so far seemingly noone has done it.

This is what supposedly all modern digital camera owners do: Wade through the loads of pictures and deleting the bad ones, somethimes deciding which one of three or four almost identical pictures is worth to keep and switching between them _fast_. Each picture has to be viewed and judged, so there is enough time for preloading and prerendering threads to prepare the next images.

VitaminSEE may be fast ... but not faster than GC which I use so far for my sorting tasks so far. I'll gladly pay some shareware fee if my wishes come true ...
